AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL AND SRN MO...NERN OK...NRN AR
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 34...
VALID 280055Z - 280300Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 34 CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A LINE OF STORMS HAS SOLIDIFIED ALONG THE COLD FRONT...AND
COULD POSE A MARGINAL WIND AND HAIL THREAT THIS EVENING. IN
ADDITION...THE LINE COULD EVENTUALLY BUILD SWWD INTO NRN AR AND
PERHAPS FAR ERN OK.
DISCUSSION...THE BULK OF THE CELLULAR ACTIVITY PRECEDING THE COLD
FRONT HAS DWINDLED DUE TO THE COOL/STABILIZING BOUNDARY LAYER
POST-SUNSET. MEANWHILE...FORCING ALONG THE FRONT HAS RESULTED IN A
LINE OF STORMS...WITH THE STRONG FORCING HELPING TO COUNTER THE MORE
STABLE AIR. GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THIS FRONT...STORMS MAY TEND TO
BACK-BUILD SWWD INTO THE LOW-LEVEL JET AND WHERE MORE SUBSTANTIAL
PWAT EXISTS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH...BUT A WATCH IS NOT IMMINENT AT THIS TIME.
